Billy Corgan's wife says couple's son escaped injury when car crashed into Madame Zuzu's Teashop

Billy Corgan released a note from his wife Chloe on Wednesday (October 30) about an incident at the Smashing Pumpkins singer's suburban Chicago teahouse in which a car crashed through the front window. “Important notice for Madame Zuzu's! Thank you for your support and understanding,” Corgan wrote to X in a post that included his wife's note.

“This afternoon at Madame Zuzu's, a car (under circumstances that remain under investigation) drove over the curb and into Madame Zuzu's and unfortunately injured one person – my mother, Jenny. who spent the day and had lunch with my son Augustus,” wrote Chloe Mendel Corgan. “Luckily, he was able to jump out of the way and was uninjured.”

The couple thanked Highland Park and Deerfield first responders for their help, and Chloe noted that the store will remain closed until further notice, with an update coming soon. Serving a variety of teas and vegan items, Madame Zuzu's opened in its current location in September 2020.

In August, Corgan and his wife announced they were expecting their third child, joining son Augustus, 8, and daughter Philomena, 5. “We're happy to announce that our family is growing!” Mendel Corgan, 31, said People magazine. “It's an exciting time for us, albeit an unexpected one!” Corgan, 57, added: “On Sunday, we shared the news with our children, Augustus Juppiter and Philomena Clementine. While Augustus was overjoyed, Clementine, the younger of the two, asked if the baby was already made and shed a few tears of worry, which was honestly adorable. Now, both kids are shining and it's so much fun to share the joy of bringing more love into our family. We are truly blessed.”

Smashing Pumpkins are getting ready to kick off the South American leg of their The World Is a Vampire tour, which kicks off in Brasilia, Brazil at Arena BRB on Friday (November 1).
